Armed robbers try to rob gun store - bad idea

Check this video out. This a good argument for training.
Gun store owner casually finds cover and is quick and accurate.
Note the shot that hit the display case.
Risky move though. Especially with the other employee involved.

 Very scary. He must have had very good shot placement, the guy dropped instantly.


I remember seeing one where another owner returned fired, killing the robber, but was also shot and is now paralyzed.

Train for head shots now days...  Bad guys and terrorists are using body armor these days.  I think the new strategy should be two to the head and one to the body.  reverse Mozambique....

I always have available on a neck I.D. pouch, a copy of the registration for the firearm I'm using.  My thinking is  I would lock my safe ASAP so later prying eyes cannot see the contents, and do not want to open it at LE request to see the registration.
Good shot by the owner, one less domestic terrorist in this country.

HPD should never have a reason to request a copy of your registration.  The only thing I would offer is the control number to make it easier for them to locate their copy and match it to that firearm.

Registration info isn't needed.  Takes HPD about 20 seconds to get it based on your name or serial number.  Wouldn't really matter at the scene of the incident.

Hmmm, interesting philosophy.
I'm going to have to think about this. It's contradictory to current self defense training.

One would think and hope that HPD won't ask for registration of a firearm used in a SD incident, but I believe in Murphy and met him many times through the years.   In HI, redundancy, bureaucratic inefficiency, misinterpretation of the law by gov orgs rules supreme.  I figure not having to open my safe with LE present after a stressful event is one less thing to go wrong.  So regardless, I have my paper ready.
